Book Description
From the illustrator of the #1 smash hit The Day the Crayons Quit comes an imaginative tale of friendship in a world where what makes us different isn't nearly as important as what makes us the same. When a boy discovers a single-propeller airplane in his closet, he does what any young adventurer would do: He flies it into outer space! Millions of miles from Earth, the plane begins to sputter and quake, its fuel tank on empty. The boy executes a daring landing on the moon . . . but there’s no telling what kind of slimy, slithering, tentacled, fangtoothed monsters lurk in the darkness! (Plus, it’s dark and lonely out there.) Coincidentally, engine trouble has stranded a young Martian on the other side of the moon, and he’s just as frightened and alone. Martian, Earthling—it’s all the same when you’re in need of a friend.

Book Description
A teacher who loves to discipline his students, a friend who returns to kill, a hotel that retains its guests, a wife who dreads the return of her husband, an educationalist whose spirit remains in his school, a pickpocket who finds the wrong victim, an unending flight, an actress who literally lives her role… The Shadows Return (and other stories) is a compelling collection of short stories. They are tightly woven, haunting and inevitably carry a sting in the tail. The author races the reader to the end, and, with a deft flick, turns him around to face the way he has come. Each story is meticulously detailed and knit like a collage. The last few lines convert each painting into a hologram, where the reader is not sure what the picture really is. Won’t you enjoy the ride?

When the police come calling about the disappearance of the former CEO, Jimmy begins to wonder what he got himself into. Then he discovers surveillance equipment in his neighbor’s house, looking straight into his living room. And he begins to notice that his wife isn’t just tired, she’s terrified, and trying to hide it.Nothing is as it seems. Jimmy no longer feels like he’s living the dream. Instead, he’s plunged into the worst kind of nightmare there is. And when he finally gets to the truth, it’s more shocking and terrifying than could be imagined.

Ordinary people are swept up in extraordinary historical events in these gripping short stories by the bestselling author of The King’s Spy. History is brought alive by the everyday people whose lives it affects in this moving collection of short fiction. In Beautiful Star & Other Stories we meet Eilmer, a monk in 1010 with Icarus-like dreams; Charles I, in hiding in 1651 and befriended by a small boy; the trial of Jane Wenham, witch of Walkern, seen through the eyes of her granddaughter, among many others. From the author of the Thomas Hill trilogy, this is an affecting journey through the centuries, bringing a new perspective to such events as the defense of Corfe Castle, the battle of Waterloo, the siege of Toulon, and, in the title story, the devastating dangers of the life of the sea in 1875.

No one does monsters better than Neal Asher, so be prepared to revisit the lives and lifestyles of such favourites as the gabbleduck and the hooder, to savour alien poisons, the walking dead, the Sea of Death, and the putrefactor symbiont.
